Oklahoma has for a long time been synonymous with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for generations. Patrons from each of the nearby states get in vans and travel to Oklahoma to bet on Bingo over the weekends.

The 1988 (IGRA) Indian Gaming Regulatory Act became law after a benchmark determination by The U.S. Supreme Court just the prior year. From that instance, 23 of the 39 American Indian tribes of Oklahoma have established gaming halls. The Chickasaw were the first Oklahoma Indian band to take advantage of the gaming restrictions, and today operate ten gambling halls of their own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. computerized games like one armed bandits were not permitted, on the grounds that they are believed to lead to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In recent years, Oklahoma law have altered to allow for big American Indian wagering casinos. You will now discover Indian gambling dens with one armed bandits, video poker and black jack tables. Craps and roulette are not authorized in the American Indian gambling halls yet, although that is simply a waiting game. Nobody can say what having different games in the bingo parlours will do for the draw of bingo.
